Each year, 275 million people in Asia (and the Pacific) fall sick from food, with 225,000 perishing. Improving these statistics will require participation from both the public and private sectors. Providing infrastructure and personnel training to improve hygiene and sanitation in production will play a large role, with an opportunity for tech to build on that foundation. Learn more from our expert, Thomas Hayes, in this new blog.
In our recent report "The Next Generation of Satellite Imaging," we discussed the present and future applications of satellite imaging across various industries. In this blog, we guide the oil and gas industry to build three-term strategies based on various opportunities offered by satellite imaging.
